n8n
Fair-code workflow platform for orchestrating AI agents with human controls.
What the agent does
n8n lets teams mix AI agents, code, and deterministic steps with 1000+ integrations so agents can be observed, evaluated, and put into production.
Business model
Open-core / cloud SaaS + self-host
Lessons for builders
- Hybrid autonomy (not pure agent, not pure rules) is the production sweet spot.
- Community + fair-code distribution is a growth engine.
- Get embedded inside an incumbent's platform: SAP is building n8n into its Joule Studio agent builder, putting it in front of SAP's enterprise base without a separate sales cycle.
